degrees .32 minutes betweene the two paralelles And now to knowe by what poynt of the Compasse doo this Rome is to the East wardes of London .16 degrees .46 mi. for that it is more degrees in longitude Wherfore you most seeke howe many myles that it is first in your paralell and heere at London .37 myles dooth answere vnto one degree therefore multiply .16 times .37 and that commeth vnto .592 and then there is .46 minutes more and that commeth vnto .28 miles and better Then put .28 vnto .592 and that maketh .620 so that you may conclude that it is .620 myles from London vnto the Meridian of Rome in the paralel of London And nowe the latitude of Rome is .42 degrees and then .44 myles maketh a degree in that paralel Wherefore multiply .16 times .44 and that maketh .704 and then there is .46 minutes more and that maketh .33 myles and better Wherefore adde .33 vnto .704 there it will be .737 so that you may conclude that it is from Rome vnto the Meridian of London .737 myles Wherefore adde or put both these two numbers togeâ—her that is to say 620. and .737 and that maketh .1357 And nowe take halfe this number and that will shewe vnto you howe many myles that Rome is to the Eastwardes of London and that is .678 myles and a halfe and nowe there is .9 degrees .32 minutes betweene the two paralelles and 60 myles make a degree Therefore multiply .9 times .60 and that maketh .540 and then take .32 myles more for the .32 minutes .32 â–ª put vnto .540 maketh .572 so that Rome is .572 miles vnto the Southwardes of London and nowe for that Rome is more degrees in longitude then London and fewer degrees in latitude then London therefore then Rome must needes be in the Southeast quarter and to knowe iust by what poynt then looke what both the numbers be as thus Rome is vnto the Eastwards of London 678. myles and ½ and vnto the Southwardes of London .572 myles then vewing the two numbers .572 is more then ¾ of 678. Therefore you may conclude that Rome dooth stande from London Southeast and by East and somewhat declinyng or leaning more vnto the Southwardes and if that the numbers had been equall then it had been due Southeast c. And to knowe howe many myles by that poynt of the Compasse that is shewed in the Chapter goyng before and by this order you shall knâ—w by what poynt of the Compasse that any place dooth beare from you c. ¶ The fourth Chapter sheweth the Longitude and the Latitude and by what poynt of the Compasse that sundrye places within England and Scotland and Ireland and also of certayne Ilandes neere vnto them dooth beare from the Citie of London and what distaunce of miles that they are from London by the poynt of the Compasse ouer the water and ouer the lande And also there is shewed howe muche that the Moone shall chaunge rather or later then it dooth at London and also it dooth shewe the length of the longest Sommers day for as many places as be named NOwe furthermore in so muche as I haue shewed vnto you how by the longitude and by the latitude you maye knowe by what poynt of the Compasse that any place assygned beareth from you and also at anye place assygned for to knowe the distance by that poynt of the compasse that is to say howe many myles that it is from you so in like manner I thinke it good for to shewe the longitude and the latitude of sundry principall places vpon the face of the whole earth according vnto diuers Authours that haue written thereof and also for that the Citie of London is the principall and most famous place here in England I will declare or shew vnto you by what poynt of the Compasse that any of those places doo beare or declyne vnto from the Citie of London and also howe many myles by that poynt ouer the Sea and London by that ryght lyne or poynt of the compasse And also I doo thinke it good for to shewe vnto you the diuersitie aspect of all those places by the Citie of London that is to say howe much that the Moone shall chaunge rather or later then that it shall doo at the Citie of London whereby maye be knowne the time of any Eclipse eyther of the Moone or Sunne and also the aspectes of the Moone with the other planets you knowing at what houre or tyme that it wyll happen or be at London And also I doo thinke it good for to shewe vnto you the length of the longest Sommer day in all those places that shall be named accordyng vnto the longitude and latitude and then the length of the shortest Wynter daye is soone knowne and the daye is ment to bee from the Sunne rysing vnto the Sunne setting For the latitude of places dooth alter the length of the daye and the longitude dooth alter the tymes of the Eclipses eyther of the Sunne or of the Moone wyth all the other aspectes that the Moone hath with the Sunne or any other of the Planets c.

Also the vse of the Horizontall or flatte Sphere whereby to drawe or take the platte of any countrey c. The Seconde booke dooth shewe vnto you if that you doo knowe the Longitude and the Latitude of any place truly then howe to knowe the distance in myles from you or any place assygned and by what poynt of the Compasse that it is from you And because that London is the most famous and the most principall place here in Englande I haue haue named certayne principal places here in Europe and also in Africa and in Asia and also in America with some of the principallest Ilandes in the worlde both their Longitude and Latitude and their distance from the citye of London and by what poynt of the Compasse that it is from London and also how much that the Moone doth chaunge rather or later then it doth at the citie of London and what length their longest day is of c. The third booke is as touching the measuring of Superficials and sollid bodies and howe to augment them or diminish them vnto what proportion or bignes you list whether that it be the tonnage of any shyppe or the bignesse of any kaske c. The fourth boke is as touching the Art Statical as to know the waight of any shyp swimmyng on the water and such other like c. The fifth or the last boke is as touching the natural causes of sand and rockes in the Sea and diuers such other like causes as it doth appeare in the table of the contentes of the Bookes c. The which things in my opinion are very necessarie for al maner of persons and especially vnto such as be Trauaylers which causeth me to geue the booke vnto name A Treasure vnto Trauaylers For what thing can there bee more better vnto a Trauayler either by Sea or by Lande Golde Siluer onely excepted then to know the distances from place to place and to haue capacity to know the height and the lownes of any thing how to make a Plat or Carde for any countrey c. which is declared in the first booke And also how necessary a thing it is for a Trauailer to know vnto what quarter of the worlde any place dooth beare from him what the distauÌ„ce is
of the Astrolobe to knowe the true wydenesse of any Water or howe farre that anye Shyppe is of from you or to take anye great distaunce by layinge the Astrolobe flatte beefore you with the Skall vpwardes The Eight Chapter sheweth vnto you if that you doe knowe the distaunce then you maye knowe whether it bee higher grounde or lower then the place that you are vpon how much both by the partes of the Skall and by the degrees and also you may know whether that one Ship be hygher then another The ninth Chapter sheweth the makinge of a Crosse-staffe that in some cases is better then the Skall of the Astrolobe or Quadrant The tenth Chapter sheweth how for to vse the crossestaffe for to knowe the length of any wall or the distaunce betweene any 2. markes and also the distance from you vnto any wall or marke The eleuenth Chapter sheweth you how for to take the length of a wall when that you haue not grounde large yenough for your .2 stations or standings The twelfe Chapter sheweth you howe for to know the distaunce vnto any 2. markes or to the 2. endes of any wall by the extracting of the square roote The thirteenth Chapter sheweth howe for to knowe the distaunce vnto any marke with the Crossestaffe without the extracting of the roote and also howe for to take the height of any thing with the Crossestaffe The fourteenth Chapter sheweth vnto you howe that you shall know the distaunce of any shippe from you and you being in another shippe and both the shippes vnder sayle and goyng by the crosse staffe The fifteenth Chapter sheweth vnto you how that you shall make an instrument whereby that you you maye describe a region or countrey whiche you may call a Horizontall and also howe for to take the plat of any ground The sixteenth Chapter sheweth you howe to make a Trounke or Skall of measure in a Mappe or Carde whereby you maye knowe the distaunce in myles that it is from one towne to another The seuenteenth Chapter sheweth vnto you howe you may make a Carde or mappe for any countrey placing in it the true longitude and the true latitude and also howe for to knowe the true longitude and the true latitude The eyghteenth Chapter sheweth vnto you howe you may place all the principall riuers or waters truely in anye Carde or Mappe Finis The Argument of the seconde Booke of the Treasure for Trauailers The second booke of the Treasure for Trauaylers shewing howe by the longitude and latitude of any Cytye Towne or place for to knowe the distance in myles vnto them and also by what poynt or winde of the compasse they be from you And also there is shewed in this booke how dyuers notable Cyties Townes or places doe beare from the Citie of London both in Europe Africa Asia and America with sundry principall Ilands in the sea both by what distance they be in myles from London and what winde or poynt of the compas they are frō Londō also theyr longest day the diuersitie aspect that is to say howe much the Moone shal chaūge rather or later then it doth at the Cytie of London being very necessary for all sortes of traualers eyther by Sea or by Lande Written by william Bourne ¶ To the courteous Reader FRiendely Reader there is conteyned in this seconde Booke how by the longitude and the Latitude to knowe the distance vnto what quarter of the worlde that anye place assigned is from you that is to saye how many miles according vnto our english accoumpt and by what poynt of the Compasse anye Citie or Towne or any other notable Place is from you wheresoeuer you bee vppon the face of the whole Earth And for that the Citie of LONDON is the most notable the famousest place heere in ENGLANDE therfore I haue thought it good to assigne the Citie of London to be the place appoynted how farre sundrye notable Cities and Townes and other places worthy of memorye are from the citie of Londō both their distance in miles vnto what quarter of the world they doe beare from the Citie of London according to their longitude and latirude accordingly as sundrye authors haue set downe their longitude and latitude and also there is contayned in this second Booke the diuersitie aspecte that is to saye how much that the Moone shall change rather or later then it doth at London according vnto the Longitude of the places that are mentioned in this second Booke and also the length of the longest Sommer day at the places named in this secōd Booke according vnto the latitudes of the places sette downe in this seconde Booke And for that there is no person that hath trauailed generally through the face of the whole earth therefore they must needes of force folowe such authours as haue written therof whether they be true or not and therefore you must needs take thē as they be for otherwise I know not how it is possible for to doe it but onely to folowe the best and most Learned authors that haue written in those causes And yet the learned men that haue bene afore time must of force folow those that haue giuen vnto them the notes of the longitude and the Latitudes of any places that they haue not bene at them selues whether they be true or not And there bee a number of persons who if they doe fynde but a small fault in any Booke then by that meanes they will goe about to discredit the whole matter often repeatinge the matter yf they doe fynde any errour in it as who shoulde saye what a cunning man he is although in all the rest of the whole booke hee is not able to say any thing thereunto And it may bee possible that hee may haue no iudgement in the rest of the causes how necessarie so euer the rest of the substance of the matter is Wherefore gentle Readers if you doe finde any fault in this Booke then gently geue me warning thereof and if you doe amende the faultes therin contayned then I shall bee the more beholding vnto you c. For as touching the longitude and the latitude of places men must credit those that haue beene there for the trueth of the matter and yet euery man that hath bene at any place cannot do it for the .100 person that hath trauailed vnto places is not able to take the true latitude but much lesse the longitude of any place And furthermore as touching the true distaunce vnto any place assigned that cannot bee by any one poynt of the Compasse as is declared in this Booke c. And thus gentle Readers I betake you vnto the almightye God for euermore ¶ The second booke of the treasure for Trauaylers The first Chapter of the Second booke shewing you how for to know the distance vnto any Towne vpon the face of the earth and what is to be considered in the doing thereof c.

Wherfore I would wish al those persons that it hath pleased God to blesse vppon the face of the earth with anye worldly reuenewes or substance and liuing to practise some thing whereby they may doo some good vppon the face of the earth And in like manner to trayne vp theyr chyldren in the nurture and feare of God c. Especially the noble men and gentlemen and they themselues not to desyre to liue pleasantly and idely but to practise some vertuous thing as martiall affayres or such other lyke causes as their capacitie wyll serue them For there were two causes in the beginning of all degrees of the temporaltie or layetie wherof al Noble men and Gentlemen had their originall and beginnyng and they are worthy to be had in honour vnto the worlds ende for their parentage and the much the rather if that they doo folow the rule of their noble and worthy progenitors The fyrst cause was for their noble actes and deedes in the defending of their Country against their enemies c. So by that meanes for their valiantnesse against their enemies they were extolled and aduanced vnto high dignitie euerye person according vnto his desertes and had lyuings to maintayne their state and they to defend their Territories whilest the common people dyd manure and tyll the ground And the second cause in degrees of nobilytie and gentlemen was to them that made good and wholsome lawes for the good gouernement of their common weales Therefore I would wish al noble meÌ„ and gentlemen to folow the noble race of their progenitours and then they are the highlyer to bee esteemed But otherwise what a shame and discredit if that they do rightly consider of it is it for them to be euil members in the coÌ„mon weale considering howe worthyly their ancientrie dyd attaine come vnto their callyng Therfore I would wish euery gentleman to practise something that
the first booke ¶ The fyrst booke of the treasure for trauellers contayning the particuler conclusion of the Scall for to know the hieght of any Tower Steeple or Hill or Walle and the dystance vnto them and the particuler conclusions of the Crosse staffe and to know the thinges before rehersed after the playnest order of teachyng also there is the conclusion of the horizontal or flat Sphere how to take the plat of any countrey after the playnest order with such other lyke very necessary for all sortes of trauelers eyther by sea or by Land written by Willyam Bourne To the Reader of the first parte GEntle Reader there is conteyned in this first booke the particular conclusions of the Skal as touching the knowing oâ— heigthes bothe by right shadowe and contrary shadowe and also howe to knowe any distance by the Skalle And although that M. Thomas Dygges hath set out a booke called Pantometria whiche is extant in print as touching the conclusions of the Skall whiche is very learnedly done Yet notwithstanding I doo not thinke it hurtful to shewe it particularly and plainely whereby they may doo it in most causes without Arithmetike For the Skall being put but into .12 partes it may be counted by the head without Arithmetike but if the Skal be put into many partes then it must of force require the ayde of Arithmetike And also there is the particular conclusions of the Crosse staffe as to take the widenesse betweene any two markes and the length of any wall and the distance vnto any place with other necessarye matters to be donne with the playne Crosse staffe c. And also there is the Conclusion of the horizontal or flat Sphere howe to take the plat of any Countrey after the playnest order of teaching that is to saye by the poynt and partes of poyntes of the Compasse For it is al one matter whether that the Instrument be diuided into degrees or partes of poyntes and that same may be done by playne lynes of opposition without any InstrumeÌ„t or circle which I doo omyt at this tyme to speake of And although gentle readers that it seemeth not vnto you to be learned like done yet notwithstanding it is possible that there is some thing that is not common in those books that are extant that maye doo you pleasure For the learned sortes of bookes it may be are not most necessary to be common and yet it woulde doo well that the common sorte of people shoulde haue some instructions FOr that it is sufficiently declared in diuers bookes nowe extant in our Englishe tongue wherefore I doo thinke it superfluous for to shewe what a Pricke is or what a lyne is or what a Plat or Superficial is or what Angles be and what a sholded bodie is as it is sufficiently declared in all these bookes as in Euclides Elementes and in M. Thomas Dygges booke called Pantometay and also in M. Leonarde Dygges booke called Tectonicon c. A Circle is that whiche is drawen rounde with a payre of Compasses a Centre is the myddle pricke Circumference is the compasse Diameter is the breadth of a Circle c. And furthermore for that in this first part there is the conclusions of the Scall and the Crosse staffe shewyng by them howe for to knowe the distance vnto any place assigned Therefore it is very necessarie for to knowe the partes of measure as it is not vnknowen vnto all men what a foote is and that .12 ynches maketh a foote so .3 foote is a yarde and .5 foote is a pase Geometricall but some persons haue been of that opinion that .3 foote is a pase which is a yarde but it is but a simple steppe and fewe men are able to endure to pase a yarde any long tyme togeather but any person may endure to steppe two foote and a halfe all a day long togeather Therefore a pase Geometrical is two reasonable steppes and that is fiue foote and so any man may endure all a day together and twelue pases maketh a score and that is twentye yardes and that maketh .60 foote and a myle conteyneth .1000 Geometrical pases and that is .5000 foote and that maketh 1666. yardes â…” and that is .2 foote and that conteyneth 83. score â…“ and that is .20 foote c. and a Rod is .16 foote and a halfe of lande measure and .18 foote is a Rod of woode measure according to our Englishe account and .303 Rodde and .1 33. that is halfe a foote is a myle of lande measure and .277 Rodde and .7 9. that is .14 foote of woode measure is a myle and a fadome is .6 foote and that is .2 yardes and .10 fadome is a score and a myle conteyneth .833 fadome and â…“ part that is 2. foote c. And thus muche haue I saide as touching our Englishe account as concernyng the measuryng of the length or the distances vnto any place assigned c. ¶ The first Chapter of the first booke conteynyng the making of the Quadrant with the Skall whereby you may knowe the height or lowenesse of any thynge c. NOwe begynneth the first part of this booke called A Treasure for Trauaylers shewing the conclusions of the Skall whereby you may knowe the height of any Tower Steeple or Wall or the height of a Hyll and the distances vnto any marke assigned by the Conclusions of the Skall And also in this first part there is the Conclusions of the Crosse staffe shewyng howe to knowe the length of the Corten of a wall and the distance thereof or any Towne more playner then is shewed in M. Leonarde Dygges booke called Tectonicon And also there is the making and the vse of an Instrument that may be called an Horizontal Sphere to drawe the plat of any Countrey set out vpon the face of the whole earth and howe to knowe howe to place the longitude and the latitude of any Towne with other necessarie thinges c. very necessarie and profitable for al trauailers and seruitâ—urs either by sea or by lande as Gonners and Captaines and leaders of men And nowe shall followe the making of a Quadrant with the Skal diuided but into xii-partes although some wyl haue it diuided into .60 partes and some into 48. partes and some into moe partes and some into lesse partes according vnto the fantasie of sundry Authours But I doo thinke it bâ—â—â— to be diuided into .12 partes for that diuers people are desirous to knowe the vse of the Skall that are not seene in Arithmetike and yet the vse of the Skal is very necessary and profitable for them to knowe and the Skal diuided but into .12 partes any reasonable man may haue the vse thereof But if it be diuided into .48 or .60 partes then it dooth require Arithmetike which is not in many persons Wherfore I doo thinke the Skall that is diuided into .12 partes to be most necessary and

The .17 Chapter sheweth vnto you how you may make a carde or mappe for any countrie placing in it the true Longitude and the true Latitude And also how for to know the true longitude and the true latitude NOw furthermore if that you liste you may make a carde bewtify it at your pleasure make it fairer you may drawe the longitude and the latitude of euery place as thus first you may take the distance of euery Towne and Village and Hill or any other notable marke whatsoeuer it be and then make a marke for the name of such a Towne according to the obseruation that you haue obserued afore bothe the distance and towards what coste of the contrey the Towne doth declyne according to the crossing of the .2 lynes placing in it the principal ryuers or waters and then in the very midle of the mappe or carde make a Meridian lyne to the intēt for to rule al the rest of the work And then in the margent of the card from the South to the North vpon both of the edges of the mappe or card place the latitude of the country that is to say at how many degrees that the pole Artick is lyfted aboue your Horizon as you may know it by your Astrolobe by the altitude of the same vpon the Merydian lyne knowing what declination the Sun hath vpon that day of the moneth that you take the height of the Sunne And then if that the Sunne hath North declination you must substract or pull away the Suns declination with degrees and minutes if South declination you must adde or putte to the Sunnes declination with degrees and minutes and then that which shal remayne shall be the altitude of the Equinoctial Then pull that sūme out of .90 degrees with degrees and minuts the remaynder shal be the height of the North pole Artick aboue the Horizon And furthermore you may know the latitude of any Towne or Countrey by the starres of the South or starres of the North knowing there iust declination from the Equinoctial dooing by them as you doe by
betweene the two feete of the Compasses and that beyng knowne then multiply the number of degrees by 60. and that shall shewe vnto you the true number of myles betweene any two places assigned and this beyng doone precisely taking the true number of degrees the partes therof you shal not fayle of the truth so that the Longitude and Latitude of the places be truely set vppon the Globe and then 60. myles dooth aunswere vnto one degree both vnder the Equinoctiall and the Meridians And in euery great Circle on the Globe of the Earth whose whole circumference or compasse is 21600. myles so that no two places assigned cannot be further distaunce asunder then 10800. myles and then the one must be opposit or ryght against the other being Antipodes goyng feete vnto the feete of the other and then as before is declared it is neyther East nor West nor no poynt of the Compasse else for which waye soeuer that you doo goe by anye ryght lyne the distaunce is all one but if that any two places bee not directlye Antipodes the one vnto the other then that is nearer one waye then that it is another way and yet it shall not bee by any one poynt of the Compasse but by diuers poyntes of the Compasse as before is rehearsed except that the two places bee both vnder one Meridian or else vnder the Equinoctiall c. ⧠A Table of the Contentes of the chapters of the second part of this Booke called a treasure for Trauailers FIrst to the Reader of thys seconde part The firste Chapter of the seconde parte sheweth you how for to know the distance vnto any towne vpon the face of the earth and what is to be considered in the dooynge therof The Seconde Chapter sheweth vnto you howe you may know the distaunce vnto any Towne situate vpon the face of the whole erth so that you doe know the true longitude and the true latitude of them The Thirde Chapter sheweth howe too knowe vnto what quarter of the worlde that anye place doth stande from you that is to saye by what poynt of the Compasse you knowing the true longitude and the true latitude The Fourth Chapter sheweth the longitude and the latitude and by what poynt of the compasse that sundry places within England and Scotland and Irelande and also of certayne Ilandes neare vnto them doth beare from the Citie of London and what distaunce of myles they are from London by the poynt of the Compasse ouer the water and the land and also there is shewed how much the moone shall chaunge rather or later then it doth at London and also it dooth shewe the length of the longest Summer daye for as manye places as are named The fyfth Chapter sheweth the longitude and the latitude and the other thinges before rehearsed of certayne of the principallest places in Europe as in Spayne and Portugall and Fraunce and Italy and Germany The Sixte Chapter sheweth the longitude and the latitude and the other thinges before rehearsed of certayne of the principallest places in Africa and of certaine Ilands neare therunto The Seuenthe Chapter sheweth the longitude and the latitude and the other things before rehersed of certayne of the principallest places of Asia and in the East India The Eight Chapter sheweth the longitude and the latitude and the other thinges before specifyed of certayne of the princpallest places of America or the West Indies that hath bene founde within these hundred yeares and not knowne vnto the olde Writers The ninth Chapter sheweth the longitude and the latitude and the other thinges be fore rehearsed of certayne of of the moste principall Ilandes of Europe within the midle earth Sea and also the most principall Ilandes of Asia and America The tenthe Chapter is as touching certaine thinges in the knowyng of the distaunce vnto any place assigned by longitude and by latitude Finis The Argument of the thyrde Booke of the treasure for Trauailers ¶ The thirde Booke of the Treasure for Trauailers conteyning some matters for the measuring of superfycialles as Lande Borde Pauement or Glasse and also some matters as touching Solled bodyes as Tymber Stone or such otherlyke and also howe to alter the Tonnage burthen or bygnesse of shippes and to keepe that moulde and proportion with other necessary thinges belonging thereunto c.

NOwe begynneth the thirde Booke for that it is necessarye for to knowe how to measure all manner of plat formes and bodyes both their superficiall contentes and also there masey contentes Therefore as briefly as I may I wyll shewe vnto you yet there hath famous and wyse men written thereof in our Englishe tongue as M. Leonard Dygges and M. Thomas Dygges his sonne other notable men seene in the Mathematicall Sciences Therefore I doo intend to treate the lesse thereof and especially of those thinges that those haue written of I wyll not meddle withall at this tyme for that they haue sufficiently declared it as this for to know the contentes of Lande to be measured in Triangles beyng sure for to make a square angle and so forth as M. Dygges dooth declare in hys Tictonicon and for to cast the contentes therof you shall doo this When you haue
found a length and a breadth of anye peece of ground whose contentes in Acres you doo desire for to know you shall do it by Arithmetike as thus You shal multiply the length with the breadth then that number that commeth of that multiplication you shall deuide by .160 and that shall shewe vnto you the true numbers of Acres then if there bee any halfe roddes or quarters of roodes if that they be in breadth you shal adde then to the length and if that they be in length you shall account them in the breadth and so foorth Nowe I doo knowe that euery man hath not Arithmetike therefore you shall make your account by this meanes for to knowe the true contentes of the measure of any peece of Lande when you doo know the length and the bredth thereof as thus by the account of money euery marke for to conteyne one Acre as thus by the account of money euery noble of money to conteyne halfe an Acre and euery 3. shillinges and 4. pence to conteyne a roode or a quarter of an Acre and euerye groate or 4. pence to conteyne a dayes worke and euery penny to conteyne a pearche or as some terme it a roode and for to cast the contentes of Land doo this as by ensample of a peece of Land that is 30. pearches long and 24. pearches broade the 24. pence is 2. shillinges then beyng .30 roodes long that is 2. tymes .30 shillinges that maketh in money 3. pounde and 3. pounde is .4 marke and a noble so that the peece of Lande that is .30 roodes long and 24. broade doth conteyne 4. Acres and a halfe Yet furthermore for your better vnderstanding where there is half pearches and quarter of pearches both in the length and in the bredth then you shall doo thus by a peece of Lande that is 53. roodes long and a halfe and of bredth 42. and a quarter then 42. pence maketh 3. shillinges and 6. pence laye downe 3. tymes 53. shillinges and that will be .7 pounde and .19 shillinges and then ther is 6. pence more in the bredth and 53. halfe shillings maketh 26. shillinges and 6. pence then laye that to the other summe and then it maketh 9. pounde 5. shillings and 6. pence then there is in the length halfe a roode more therefore you must account it in the bredth and 42. halfe pence maketh 21. pence Then laye that to the suÌ„me then there is in the same bredth a quarter of a roode more and that you must recken in the length and 53. farthinges maketh 13. pence farthing then laye the same to the rest and it wyll make in money 9. pounde 8. shillinges and 4. pence ob and that aunsweres to in measure .14 Acres and 5. dares worke and about halfe a pearche for that you may knowe that .9 pounde is 13. markes and a noble and there is 8. shillinges that is more then a noble by 4. grotes Then put that noble to the other noble then that maketh 14. markes then the 4. grotes put to the other 4. pence maketh 5. grotes and so that peece of lande which is 53. roodes long and a halfe and 42. roodes broade and a quarter shal be in measure 14. Acres 5. dayes worke neere half a pearch And by this account of money you may know the contentes of anye peece of lande better then you may knowe by any maner of table or tables and this serueth both for the learned and the vnlearned and is generally called the husbandmans rule for that he may as soone learne this or sooner then he shall vnderstande the tables of measures and that serueth but for a quantitie of measure and thys serueth generally for all manner of measures be it neuer so bygge or smal being sure for to cast the money right The seconde Chapter sheweth how to measure board and Glasse and to cast the contentes therof with other necesary thinges belonging therunto NOw furthermore in lyke manner for the measuring of boord or Glasse or any such other lyke for that it is sufficientlye declared in tables in Maister Digges his Tictonicon yet notwithstandinge thus you may know the contentes without any tables as thus Looke at what length your boorde is multiplye the number of feete into ynches 12. ynches to the foote then that beinge doone multyplye the breadth with the length that is to saye the number of ynches of the length with the number of ynches of the bredth deuide that number by 144. and that shall shew vnto you the number of feete then if that there remayne any thinge euery 72. ynches maketh halfe a foote and then euery 36. shall make ¼ parte of a foote and for that euery man hath not Arethmetick for to cast it by yet this is a ready way that many Carpenters doe vse and is exact ynouth as thus If that the Borde be more then a foote brode then they doo looke how many foote long the Borde is then â—hey account that that there is so many foote of Borde as the length of the borde is and then for the odde ynches and partes they mete in the bredthe how much it is and then with the rule as often times as there is foote long in the Borde they doe measure or set it downe and then they do measure how many foote longe it commeth vnto and then they doe say that it is so many foote of borde more then the length of the borde is and that is true without any fayle as for ensample thus by a borde of 10. foote longe and 14. ynches and a halfe broade Nowe for that the Borde is 10. foote longe then at twelue ynches broade there is 10. foote of borde and then there is two ynches and an halfe more in the breadth and for that with the ynche rule that is layde downe 10. times for that the borde is 10. foote longe and that beinge measured howe long it reacheth it wyll be 25. ynches longe that is .2 foote and 1. ynche theÌ„ that 2. foote put vnto the 10. foote it maketh .12 foot so that you may conclude that a borde of 10. foote longe and .14 ynches and ½ brode that there is 12. foote and 1.12 parte of a foote of a borde without any fayle and thus you may doe howe brode or narrow so euer that any borde or Planck is And furthermore at one ynche brode then 12. foote long maketh a foote of borde at 2. ynches brode 6. foote long to a foote at 3. ynches broade 4. foote longe to a foote at 4. ynches brode 3. foote long to a foote then at 5. ynches brode 2. foote and 5. ynches long to a foot of borde at 6. ynches brode 2. foote longe to a foote of borde at 7. ynches brode 1. foote and 8. ynches and a halfe to 1. foote of borde at 8. ynches brode one foote and 6. ynches longe to one foote of borde at 9. ynches brode 16. ynches long to one foote of
forced from that place and so is landed in an other place And it is possible to bee forced or landed at the place that it fyrst came from although it may be 20. or 40. myles distance asunder And thus those that are neare dwellers vnto the sea coastes doo see the great and mighty workes of God wrought by his greatnesse and almighty power the great or huge bellowes or waues or knots of the sea in great winds and stormes or tempestes For euen those things that shew or seeme vnpossible he bringeth to passe as by experience hath beene seene at sundrye times c. The fourth Chapter sheweth the naturall cause why that the beache and the great bolder stones on the sea coastes are become rounde and smooth without any edges or corners NOw furthermore as touching the natural causes why that the Beache and the great bolder stones in the sea and the other small shingle are all smooth and rounde without corners or sharpe edges and yet they be of all kindes and luites of stones as Marble stone and Flynt and other hard stone c. For they bee of those substance natures as the Cliffes that are neare vnto those partes as in the Chapter goyng before is declared by vnderminyng of the hilles or bankes with the bellowes of the Sea the substaunce falleth downe into the Sea what soeuer manner of stuffe it bee according vnto the mineralles of those groundes or hylles that falleth into the Sea whether it be hard stone or Marble stone or Flynt or what stuffe els soeuer it bee accordyng vnto the vaines of the mineralles in the grounde that so by that meanes before rehearsed do fall into the sea Then when it is forced or brought to lande vpon any place of the Sea coast it is all smooth without any corners or sharpe edges The cause therof commeth to passe by this meanes for when it doth fyrst fall out of the Cliffe into the sea then it hath the fashion and forme as those haue that are digged forth of the grounde but after it is fallen into the sea hath had any continuance there so tossed to fro by the waues and bellowes of the sea a great number of them together the one doth so fret and rubbe or grinde against the other that it must needs rubbe or fret away al the sharpe edges of those stones how hard soeuer the stone is for the soussing of the bellows of the sea doth neuer forget it self to stand styl neyther is euer wery nor desyreth rest but is alwayes labouring and tossing that is in it to and fro according vnto the bignesse of the winde c. as by experience vpon the sea coast may be seene the great and mighty force of the bellowes in the soussings and forcing of the Beach a shore in the time of any great windes or stormes amongst the Beache shingle for you shal heare the soussing of the bellowes of the sea amongest the Beache as though it weee the powring downe of a thousande Carte loade at once So that you may heare it two or three miles from the place wher as it is yea and sometimes after a Storme you may see Stones that waygh a pounde wayght throwne from the full sea marke into the landewardes two or three rods by the very meanes of the soussing of the bellowes or waues of the sea as those that doo occupy the sea coastes doo see by experience c. The fyfth Chapter sheweth the naturall cause of the Rockes in the Sea c. AND yet furthermore as concernyng the naturall causes of Rockes and pinacles that doo stande in the sea very strangelye vnto suche as doo beholde and see the same in sundry places in the sea and some on the sea Coastes and some in Hauens harborows that are adioyning vnto the sea And this is generall for euer that looke whereas there is any great store of rockes it is a token of a deepe sea it is a token of a shallow Sea that hath many sands And the cause of rocks in the sea in mine opinion is this as it is knowne vnto all persons that the age of the world is of no small time so that I am of that opinion that the Rockes that are now standyng in the sea haue beene parcell of the maynelande or at the least some Ilandes standyng in the sea of long time agoe although there bee no mention made of any suche Ilandes standyng in the seas in those dayes The cause thereof might be this for that they that were of long time agoe made no accoumpt of any small Ilandes that were towardes our West Occian For these west partes in those dayes were scant peopled as Ireland and Englande and Scotlande and Brytayne the west part of Fraunce For it is no long time agoe that Irelande hath beene throughly well peopled although it bee a long time agoe since the fyrst entraunce of Brute yet it was long since the Incarnation of Christ before that this Countrye became throughly peopled as it dooth appeare both by the Chronicles and other ancient hystories And also in those dayes Nauigation was not so much vsed in these our West Occian Seas for the Sea was litle vsed in these our partes except it were by small Botes to goe a fishing and to transport people from place to place as wee doo see by experience Yet in these dayes those that doo inhabit and dwell vppon the Coast of Afryca to the West Occian doo occupye no shypping vnto the Sea except small Cannoses to goe on fishing and such other lyke as al Barbary and Ginny which were countryes well people before these Northwest parts were peopled as it dooth appeare by Histories And furthermore in the olde time those people that were the dwellers in these Northwest partes were very simple and ignoraunt as touchyng the drawing of Plats and Cardes whether they were Cardes Geography or Hidrographie c. Although that Pitholomias made Tables as touching the description of the Countries yet hee dyd not manyfestly or plainly shew the Ilandes in the sea not to this west Occian as they bee now well knowne And furthermore it is but a very short time agoe since that Englishe menne did muche occupie the sea to trauaile on long voiages neyther dyd fewe or none know or vnderstande the vse of their Sea plats called Cardes Hydrography for within these three score or foure score yeares it hath been thought a great long voiage for to goe into Spayre and then when they dyd go into Spayne they went al alongst by the coast of France and so to the coast of Byskey c. But thankes be vnto God now in these dayes Englishmen are as sufficient to trauaile in long voiages as any other nations be But now to returne to our former matter as concerning the causes of Rocks in the sea and as I haue sayde before that the Rocks haue beene parcell of the mayne lande or els
occupied or furnished with some of the elementall substances so that rather then any hollow or concaue place in the earth shall bee vacant ayre wyll seeke thither if it were in the very Center of the earth For as is sayde before if water bee able to seeke passage through the vaines in the earth then much rather the ayre shall doo it for that it is much thinner subtiller then water although that ayre wyll geue place vnto water by his ponderousnes or waight c. The tenth Chapter sheweth the reason howe America and all the Ilandes and newe found Countries and Lands became peopled and of what posteritie they be come of c. AND furthermore as touchinge the vaine argumentes and opinions of some people as touching the discouering of a number of Landes and Ilandes that haue not beene founde nor knowne but within litle more then .100 yeares as all America and a number of Countries and great and small Ilandes more none of them of any quantitie or bignesse for that they are peopled and for that they are peopled I haue harde some vayne and foolish arguments therof why there shoulde be people there for that these Countries or places were neuer knowen before except there were any more Adams then one or any more â—oyes theÌ„ one So we may see by experience how apt a nuÌ„ber of people are to fal into errours vsyng most vayne and contentious argumentes in those matters that are past their capacitie whiche is a great offence before God and also to the euiâ—l Ensample vnto the world vnto such as doo heare of the same For it is no smal errour for vs to fal into for to think that there was anâ—more Adams in the world then one for that it is vtterly against all the Canonycall Scriptures and also it is as great an errour to say that there were saued any more people after the deluge or flood more then Nâ—y and his famyly that was in the Arke with him as it is manyfestly declared in Genesis c. Wherefore I thinke it not hurtfull to shewe my opinion as concerning how all America became peopled with all the other new founde landes and Ilandes lying in the sea wheresoeuer they be c. Fyrste thus my opinyon is that America is parte of the great Ilande called Atlantida as it is further declared in the eight Chapter goyng before that the Kinges of the Ilande dyd gouerne a great part of Europe and Africa and accordyng vnto some Authors that the Kings of that Ilande were the sonnes of Neptunus then that dooth sygnifye that there was a trade or occupying of Shipping betweene these knowne partes and that great Ilande and then when that great Ilande dyd synke as before is declared the Sea Atlanticus was so full of mudde that it coulde not bee sayled in longe time afterwardes And by the Ensample of America that all the Ilande dyd not synke but the Westermost parte dyd remayne still Although this happened long beefore the commyng of Christ and as before is declared the great store of mud and fylth that dyd remayne in the Sea was the onely cause that dyd let the Trafficke and passage betweene vs in these knowne partes and them that were vnknowne vnto vs in all this long time of this mud remayning in the Sea so long time that those men that were the Sea men in those dayes were of long time dead before the Sea was cleare of the mudde And also those sea men as it is to be gathered that were in the Ilande dyd perishe by the meanes of the sinking of the East syde of that great Ilande Wherfore it is to be gathered that those that were in these partes dyd neuer attempt to seeke any Lande that wayes to the Westwardes neither those that were remayning vpon that part of the Ilande that dyd not synke dyd neuer attempt to seeke any Lande vnto the Eastwardes And in lyke manner they could not so conueniently doo it for that they had no Shipping to goe vnto the Sea but small Boats called Cannouses which be occupyed to no other purpose or vse but onely to goe on fyshing or els to transport themselues from Ilande vnto Ilande neare vnto the mayne c. And yet it is possible that some people might passe out of these partes by shipping although they neuer made any returne agayne but might tarry there and inhabite in those parts And now insomuch that it is knowen that they had boates and dyd transport them selues from place vnto place and from Iland vnto Iland before the fynding of the mayne land of America So it is not to be meruayled at why al the Ilands in the sea that are of any quantitie haue people in them considering that they had in al those partes the vse of Boates from the beginning after Noy or what time we had Boates. c. And nowe furthermore as touching the great fyrme land that lyeth to the Southeâ—wards beyond the Equinoctiall about .50 degrees is extended vnto the South partes no man in these partes dooth knowe and it is peopled too and the people thereof may come out of America for there is nothing to let them but a narrowe â—â—a called the straight of Magalenus and they hauing the vse of Boates howe easily is it to be passed So that there can be no Iâ—and lying in the sea neare vnto America that is of any bygnesse but that it is peopled whether it be to the Eastwardes towards vs or to the West partes in the South Sea or the East Ocean Sea c. And furthermore as it dooth appeare in the Scriptures that Noy had three sonnes that is to say Sem Ham and Iaphet and that Sem the eldest sonne of Noye dyd inhabite the partes of Africa and Cham or Ham the seconde sonne of Noy dyd inhabite the partes of Asia and Iaphet the youngest sonne of Noy dyd inhabite Europe and the Ilandes in the sea as the great Ilande Atlantida nowe called America and that the Kinges of that greate Ilande were the sonnes of Neptunus and the people the posteritie of Iaphet the youngest sonne of Noy c.
